Australia’s all-rounder Mitchell Marsh dismissed Pakistan’s star batter and former captain Babar Azam in the first innings on the third day of the opening Test of the series in Perth on Saturday.
Azam edged one to wicketkeeper Alex Carey after scoring 21 runs in the first session of the day.
Earlier, Pat Cummins dismissed nightwatchman Khurram Shahzad after scoring seven runs.
Pakistan resumed their first innings at 132-2 after dismissing Australia for 487 at stumps on the second day of the first Test in Perth on Friday.
Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq gave Pakistan a solid start as they added 74 runs for the first wicket. However, Lyon gave Australia a breakthrough after dismissing Shafique for 42.
Captain Shan Masood looked good during his 30 runs, in 43 balls, but he was also dismissed towards the close of play after chasing a wide delivery from Mitchell Starc as Alex Carey completed the catch behind the stumps.
However, Imam played a resolute knock and was unbeaten on 60 runs while facing 195 balls.
When this story was filed, Pakistan were 190-4 and trailed by 297 runs.
The last time Pakistan won a Test Down Under was in late 1995 when nearly half of the current side were not even born, and in Pat Cummins-led Australia they face the reigning world Test champions.
